Is that an outside or inside boiler? Guess it doesn't matter, either way, that's not a lot of water. Mine holds 365 gallons plus whatever the lines, 750 feet total, and the plate exchanges hold. It'd be a LOT of antifreeze! Not to mention it's an open system so there's some evaporation supposedly. I haven't added any yet.

Holy ****! I forgot how big that boiler of yours is and how big the exchanges are for the wood fired boiler.

Yeah, mine is an indoor unit and would be crushed if we sat yours down on it.

Another reason I had to antifreeze mine is I had added on an extra zone and pump for the garage.
Since I don't usually heat the garage unless I am working (or drying Subaru salmon),
it can very easily get below freezing out there for days at a time.

Hey, that would be a great practical joke. We could have him neutered! Anyone know the Dr's name?
If that happens, you're the first one on my list to see me and a rusty machette.
2003 - NASA's space shuttle Columbia exploded while re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. All seven astronauts on board were killed.
Wow, 11 years already. I was on rte 24 between Toledo and and Napoleon (had to look it up) when I heard about it.
1996 - Visa and Mastercard announced security measures that would make it safe to shop on the Internet.
Then they put RFID chips in the cards, so anyone with $50 of equipment can walk by you and make a fake card with you card's information... BRILLIANT!!!
1968 - During the Vietnam War, South Vietnamese National Police Chief Brig. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan executed a Viet Cong officer with a pistol shot to the head. The scene was captured in a news photograph.
I read a book about being in the war by a guy who fought it in. He said the Australians are crazy but they can't shine a light on the South Vietnamese, those were the last guys you want mad at you.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm hoping I can come home and get to eating the type of thing I normally do and straighten my system right back out again like I did this time. Where the stone is lodged, the gall bladder can't do a whole lot so I don't think it will actually take a whole lot of adjustment to it not being there. Have cut back on how much I eat. Been hungry all flippin week!

Dang, I thought you might have already made it home. Are you still in hospital?
Hope it didn't hurt too much and that they washed their hands before slicing.
